PE 5K Training for Face-to-Face & Distance Learning

Free PE resources just because I wanted to share some kindness 😍:

• For 6 - 12 PE teachers, I have a 5K training program I am sharing with you today. My classes are currently meeting face to face (with other students participating online if they choose), but we are not allowed to use any equipment. Therefore, we have been training for a 5K. 
  • Make a copy of the Google Sheet for student data entry here. 
    • We share this Google Sheet with editing permissions to our middle school students. After each day’s workout, they enter their HR for accountability and grading purposes. This makes grading a breeze!
    • This is a great log that lasts for 9 WHOLE WEEKS (3 class periods per week). My students are currently on week 6, and they are doing great so far. It is going much better than I expected considering the circumstances of Covid and how upset the kids are that we cannot use equipment. 
    • The purple cells go clear once the students type in it. 
    • Obviously, you will need to change column A to fit your classes and your students. For column B, I prefilled my student names by copying and pasting from my online roster. 
  • Read the 5K training outline here (please note I did NOT make this, this was found via a Google search). 
  • We use the C25K app because it exactly lines up with the PDF document above. I do not get any kickback for recommending this, it is just simply the app I picked to use this year. I use it on my phone, and exercise with the kids around the track. I simply use my whistle to inform the students of the intervals!
  • We also create daily learning targets that go with each day's exercise and post it online on the learning platform that we use. Our at home kids and our in person kids all do this same workout! 
    • Below is a sample write-up that we post for the kids:
